BioIdentical Hormones and Fibromyalgia
Wed, 09/23/2009 - 9:46pm
I'm creating this new "topic" inspired by Aimee, who runs some FMS information groups (or perhaps she calls them support groups?) and posted about having a speaker come about this topic to her group and that a woman had happen exactly what had happened to me in my 30s. "You're too young", which .... I now know ... was NOT the right answer. But fortunately for me I went to a speaker about menopause and heard her say 'no matter WHAT age, if you see a woman have PMS symptoms when she didn't have PMS symptoms before, test the hormones". So..... for you .... an area to write about what you know about hormones and want to know about hormones. Dr. Scott Rollins will drop by (as can any doctor that finds us and wants to contribute!).
-- be well! Mardy

i just started progesterone cream- i have been on it for only like 10 days and i am already seeing my skin clear up- i think most women don't relalize that fibro has a lot to do with hormones....
Mardy,
I'd like to hear about bioidentical hormones and FMS. What exactly do the bioidentical hormones do? Are there any long term side effects? What age are they recommended for? Do doctor's prescribe them? I'm curious to hear about this for I have not heard about it before..
Thanks :)
Faith Young is the pseudonym used by one of Lumigrate's longest content providers, as she began writing at the age of 24 in Lumigrate's FIRST year on the Internet! In real life, this young woman who has been living with FMS for many years received her Bachelors degree in Health Education from Montclair State University and graduated Magna Cum Laude. To further her career, she is currently working on two Masters degrees, one in Counseling from Seton Hall University. Since she is a 6th grade health teacher working to educate students on the importance of being physically and emotionally healthy, we found it best to provider her with a pseudonym of her choice and "Faith Young" is what resonated. In the long run, this very real young woman has faith and hopes be able to use health education in counseling and provide up to date information at Lumigrate which will appeal to the younger people 'out there' and bring them 'in here' to Lumigrate in addition to our more mature adults. In addition, she is a LumiLiaison for Lumigrate.com and helps facilitate Lumigrate FMS fan pages on facebook.
